Q: Recommended hotpatch for Mathematica Link to NetLogo 6 didn't work I have the same problem as the user who posted in "Unable to use Mathematica Link in NetLogo 6.0" (Unable to use Mathematica Link in NetLogo 6.0). For me, the Mathematica Link seems to work fine with Netlogo version 5.3.1. Even after I attempted the recommended hotpatch (which was the answer to the original posted question on this topic), still no luck (I get the same error message posted in the original comment cited above). I tried extracting the hotpatch in the NetLogo 6.0 directory and in the NetLogo 6.0 / app subdirectory... neither seemed to work. I'm using a PC with Windows 7.
Any advice on how to properly install the patch would be greatly appreciated.

A: This fix is packaged with 6.0.1 and instructions on using it can be found here. If it's easy for you to upgrade to 6.0.1 I would recommend doing that over trying to install the 6.0 fix. I have verified that the fix works for 6.0, although the installation instructions don't seem to be correct.
My configuration:

*

*Windows 10 (don't have Windows 7 available, unfortunately)

*NetLogo 6.0 64-bit

*Windows 10 64-bit

The steps I took to install:

*

*Before starting, go to your NetLogo installation directory and rename the "Mathematica Link" directory to "Mathematica Link - original" (or delete it, if you prefer).

*When I downloaded the file, it extracted to somewhere in my Downloads folder. You may have to extract yourself, depending on your browser and OS configuration

*I copied the enclosed "Mathematica Link" folder (the one with the space in the name, not the "MathematicaLink" folder at the top level) to the NetLogo directory (not the "app" directory as mentioned in the instructions).

I then opened Mathematica and ran the following commands:

*

*File > Install > type: Package, source: From File, file: C:\Program Files\NetLogo 6.0.1\Mathematica Link\NetLogo.m, install name: NetLogo, install for this user only. Note that when selecting this file, Mathematica will use the last directory you opened, so when the file dialog opens, first navigate to the the top of the drive then navigate down to NetLogo 6.0.1 (using a NetLogo.m file from an older NetLogo version will almost certainly break Mathematica link, and this is a very easy mistake to make).

*Entered in the notebook (cannot code block this): <

*Entered in the notebook: NLStart["C:\\Program File\\NetLogo 6.0.1"] (note the double backslashes and no trailing backslash).

*The NetLogo window will open after a noticeable  delay (depending on your system speed and memory)

Edit:
I wanted to consolidate troubleshooting steps for future readers. I've introduced a new version of NetLogo.m available here, which users should download for troubleshooting purposes (it will be distributed with future versions of NetLogo). Some steps to using this:

*

*Mathematica will cache old "NetLogo.m" files. You can find where these caches are by using the following commands in Mathematica:

*

*FileNameJoin[{ $BaseDirectory, "Applications" }]

*FileNameJoin[{ $UserBaseDirectory, "Applications" }]

*Visit the directories obtained in Step 1 and delete all "NetLogo.m" files from them.

*Download the new version of NetLogo.m

*Install the downloaded version of NetLogo.m (and run <<NetLogo`)

*Run NLDiagnostics["C:\\Program Files\\NetLogo 6.0.1"] to determine what paths are being searched. This function will produce a hash as an output. The key missingJars should be an empty list ({}).

*If you want to check java version, you can run NLJavaDiagnostics[]. The javaVersion returned should start with "1.8.0", the javaArchitecture returned should be "64".

Home Business Africa needs to protect itself against vulnerabilities: ECA Director
Africa needs to protect itself against vulnerabilities: ECA Director
Adam Elhiraika, Director of the Macroeconomics and Governance Division of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has urged African countries to evolve policies that can help build sustainable development goals and aspirations of Africa's Agenda 2063.
Elhiraika made the suggestion in his presentation to the 38th meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development in Marrakesh.
The ECA director who gave an overview of Africa's recent economic and social development performance, said the continent also badly needs policies to diversify and structurally transform to better support its industrialisation and enhance intra-African trade through the game-changing African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
"To reduce vulnerabilities from global economic conditions, such as the tightening of global financial markets, currency fluctuations, capital outflows and volatility of commodity process, African countries need to enhance resilience through the appropriate combination of fiscal, monetary, exchange rate and prudential policies to maintain their growth momentum," said Mr. Elhiraika.
"There is also a need for policies that can help improve debt management on the continent and to harness urbanisation as a strong vehicle for generating fiscal revenues to finance sustainable development."
Mr. Elhiraika said Africa's growth is projected to remain strong, moderating around 3.2% in 2018, but expected to recover to 3.4% in 2019 and 3.8% in 2020.
The continent's fiscal and current account balance narrowed though still relatively high while high debt levels continue to pose a concern to long-term development.
The ECA Director said the AfCFTA is expected to enhance intra-African trade and growth with marginal losses in revenues.
"Africa has made good progress in social outcomes, but inclusion especially in areas of health and education remains elusive," he told the meeting of experts that opened ahead of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.
He said socio-economic conditions were improving though at a slow pace. He reported that under-five mortality ratio fell by 42% between 1990 and 2017; income inequality has declined though still relatively high (at 0.44 – Gini coef.); the number of working poor declined 52.8% in 2000 to 33.5% in 2015 and projected to further decline to 30.4% in 2019; with steady progress being recorded towards gender parity.
The conference is being held under the theme; "Fiscal policy, trade and the private sector: A strategy for Africa."

Songs for weeping
On Sad Music
January 09, 2012 / By 18
"The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives." – Nick Hornby, High Fidelity Therein lies the rub. Why do so many of us actively seek out the "comfort" of a sad song when we're down? If we were people that made sense, we wouldn't use music to make our melancholy deeper. Somehow, our instincts overpower that basic logical equation. Sadness, one of the central, eternal wellsprings of music, fulfills a strange function in our listening habits. We don't desire unhappiness, but when it's thrust upon us, we desire the intensification that a sad song brings. The range of explanations is vast. On the spiritual side, musician Nick Cave believes it to be in tune with an innate longing for divine wholeness in all people. If you're looking at science, Ohio State University Professor David Huron theorizes that coaxing out a rush of the hormone prolactin is pleasurable without real consequence. There doesn't have to be only one answer, but in any case, it can be hard to articulate just why feeding the fire of your terrible, endless heartache feels simultaneously good and bad. There's the idea of playing with a tooth that hurts. Despite the pain receptors telling us "Ouch, ouch. Please stop," we can't resist poking at it with our tongue. But consider that when your mouth is free of pain, you're rarely even aware of your teeth. Is it possible then that emotional pain is a way of feeling more alive and aware of our existence? Because there's nothing like the stir of musical drama, from Bach's Chaconne to Death Cab for Cutie, to imbue your day-to-day with a little meaning. But maybe that's a little on the masochistic side. Maybe instead, songs of constant sorrow have a social function. It is, after all, a singular experience. Both rage and love require a target, and happiness is a content feeling that doesn't have the urgency of burden. But sadness, well, you can be sad all by yourself. That's tough in a society where your emotional trouble isn't something you can acceptably share (at least until the invention of social media). If you answer the basic question of "how are you?" with a brutally honest "miserable," expect an awkward moment. Most people aren't looking to hear that. The melancholy song, then, is a helping hand in the absence of real people. It can help us decode the vagaries of our sorrow, and when that happens, it's as if someone finally understands – even better than we do ourselves. The old saying "misery loves company" is supposed to refer to your bummer of a friend bringing everyone down with him. When it comes to the sad song, even though it can be hard to tell sometimes, it means that you are not alone.

WEST BROM are set to name former Stoke City and Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis as their manager.
The 56-year-old Pulis will replace Alan Irvine who was sacked on Monday following a run of seven defeats in nine games.
The BBC reported that Pulis is likely to be confirmed on Thursday and will be in the stands at Upton Park for West Brom's New Year's Day Premier League visit to West Ham United.
Pulis managed Stoke from 2006-13 before joining Palace and he guided the south London club to 11th place in the top flight in his one season in charge.
He quit the job two days before the start of this season amid reports of a falling out with Palace co-chairman Steve Parish.
Tim Sherwood had been expected to secure the job, however Pulis' experience has clearly trumped the former Spurs man.
West Brom are 16th in the 20-team standings, one point above the relegation zone.


We can just bury our heads in the sand and hope housing development doesn't happen. But we can no more hold back housing than you can stop the tide. Ludlow will expand. Half the town hates that. The other half thinks it is essential.
Shropshire Council's local plan has ambitious growth targets for the county but these pose dangers for a town like Ludlow which has seen decades of unplanned, incoherent growth. We need to bring an end to "Beetle Drive" planning in Ludlow. We can't continue adding one limb at time. We must begin planning for a Ludford Garden Suburb and ensure that we leave a legacy that generations can be proud of. It might take fifty years to build. But that's okay in the landscape of planning. Especially if it's a well-designed landscape.
Yesterday, Shropshire Council gave full planning permission for 68 homes and outline planning permission for up a further 132 dwellings east of the Ludlow A49 bypass at Rocks Green. The first phase of the scheme includes twelve affordable homes.
The scheme by J Ross Developments is expected to accommodate up to 200 homes (17/05189/FUL). It will be built in three phases. The first now has full planning permission has 68 homes, four fewer than originally proposed. Twelve homes on the west of the site will be affordable (18%). This is an increase from the ten affordable homes initially proposed following the intervention of the South Planning Committee last March.
Last year, Shropshire Council issued a call for landowners and developers to suggest sites for future residential and employment development. Several hundred sites were put forward. Most were rejected.
In the Ludlow area, 64 sites were submitted. Enough land to build nearly 7.000 homes. Half the sites submitted were in Ludlow, or adjacent to Ludlow in Ludford and Bromfield. Just two of the 63 sites were approved for inclusion in the current local plan review. A further 20 sites were assessed as having long term potential for development. They could accommodate more than 3,100 homes.
This article looks at those sites that made the grade, those that didn't, and those the planners think could be built on after 2036. I think we need to go further and allocate a garden suburb to be built between now and 2060.


This newly built contemporary style mountaintop home is located at 217 White Pine Canyon Road in Park City, Utah and is situated on 4.5 acres of land.
It features approximately 12,303 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, foyer with staircase, living & dining rooms, gourmet kitchen, family room, home theater, wine cellar, gym, garage and more.
Outdoor features include a porte-cochere, decks, covered patios and a hot tub.

Premiere: "Baby How's Your Day," JOYNER's Dreamy Escape
by Kelly McCafferty Dorogy
You know when love allows you to escape time? Indie pop sister duo JOYNER put that feeling into song with "Baby How's Your Day."
There is a specific feeling you get when you are with the person you love. That feeling that time doesn't really matter, because when you're with them – they are all that matters. JOYNER capture the essence of that feeling with new dreamy single "Baby How's Your Day."
Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering the music video for "Baby How's Your Day," taken from indie pop duo JOYNER's self-titled debut EP (independently released May 18, 2018). The song begins with simple piano chords, paced out slowly and delicately with intermittent guitar licks. Summer and Torrey Joyner's voices join together introduce us to the first verse,
Baby how's your day,
tell me all about it, ah
See me every day never go
without it never go without it
tell me all about it,
tell me all about it
without it, never go without it
Joyner EP – JOYNER
The sister's harmonies are so seamless they almost sound as one voice. The fact they aren't is what makes their sound so impactful. The lyrics matched with the effortless synth pop sound traveling in and out of those simple piano chords to a more rhythmic driven track is what allows you to do just what the lyrics are suggesting – escape. JOYNER says of the music, "We started with this song as an acoustic demo. From the beginning, there was something we loved about it, and when we built up the song up with our producer Bill Lefler, that love took on a whole new meaning. The emotion behind it was elevated for us with the music bed supporting the curves, layers and depth of what the song really means." The Pre-Chorus and Chorus pick up momentum as the JOYNER sing out,
You can see me with the lights down,
flicker with the lights out
You can see me in your mind now,
always on your mind now
See me with the lights down,
See me in your mind now
I know you know, ah
As the sisters put it, "'Baby How's Your Day' is a romantic song about being in love and that time and place where it's you and that person that makes nothing else exists." While the lyrics may seem subtle, they have incredible meaning when you think about them within the context of the song. "The words are simple, but love is simple, and this song takes us to that place. It's our favorite song on our EP," says the sisters. That is exactly what they have captured, the simplicity of love and how when you have it – and how when you're completely enthralled in it, everything else – such as time – becomes simple too. The bridge epically breaks down encouraging listeners to feel the ease of the words. Stripping it back down to its acoustic roots JOYNER sings out,
In the day oh
With the lights low
"Baby How's Your Day" is a dreamy pop ballad that has the legs to stick. JOYNER is a powerful duo giving off major Lana Del Ray with a dash of Tegan and Sara vibes. We should all be excited to hear what these girls do next, until then, "Baby How's Your Day" on repeat.

The back glows golden when you catch the light just right.
"Labradorite stone really is amazing. At a casual glance this handsome bear by Abby Quam Panteah is a subdued dark gray hue, with a very precisely inlaid turquoise heart line. But when you catch the light just right a bright golden glow flashes across the back! Very special."


Introducing the smartest reusable swim diaper yet! Save money and waste with our innovative design.
Fitting a wide range of babies, our one-size-fits-most swim diaper accommodates many babies in the weight ranges of 10-35 lbs. Adjust the size of the outer with our step-down rise snaps.
Our inner mesh sling catches all the icky things! With fully adjustable elastics, the sling sits tight against baby's bottom when properly fitted, and acts independently from the rest of the swim diaper, allowing for two stages of protection.
To adjust the mesh sling, turn over the rear part of the mesh and detach the elastic from the button. Pull the elastic to shorten the mesh sling. You'll want the length of the sling to be a bit shorter than the length of the outer part of the diaper (ensure the rise snaps on the outer are adjusted first.) Fasten the elastic to the button. Tuck in the extra elastic length under the mesh guard at the rear, and repeat on the other side.
When soiled, remove the swim diaper and dispose of the waste in the toilet. Pre-rinse with a diaper sprayer if desired. Wash and hang to dry.

Q: Do I use AWK, SED or Grep from Bash to echo/print to specify variables from select fields from multiple lines of log file? I am trying to parse read only comm logs from a radio. Some entries are 2-3 lines others might be more than 8 lines. The good news is I can find unique static start and stop strings. The bad news is I have tried copying SED code from the nearest example I could find for the past 11 hours with zero success.
The log looks like this:
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:24.927 DMR Slot 2, received network voice header from KS3X to TG 91
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:25.402 DMR Talker Alias (Data Format 1, Received 6/20 char): 'KS3X D'
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:25.410 DMR Slot 2, Embedded Talker Alias Header
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:25.412 0000:  04 00 68 4B 53 33 58 20 44  *..hKS3XD*
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:26.111 DMR Talker Alias (Data Format 1, Received 13/20 char): 'KS3X DMR ID: '
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:26.120 DMR Slot 2, Embedded Talker Alias Block 1

M: 2019-06-08 18:15:26.824 DMR Talker Alias (Data Format 1, Received 20/20 char): 'KS3X DMR ID: 1142129'
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:26.824 DMR Slot 2, Embedded Talker Alias Block 2
M: 2019-06-08 18:15:26.824 0000:  06 00 31 31 34 32 31 32 39  *..1142129*
M: 2019-06-08 18:16:15.921 DMR Slot 2, received network end of voice transmission, 51.2 seconds, 0% packet loss, BER: 0.0%

The data variables I would want from that would be the following:

*

*The call sign between 'from' and 'to' on line 1.

*The channel located between 'to' and the end of line 1.

*The DMR ID at the end of line 8(1142129).

*The duration of 51.2 seconds on line 11.

*The percentage of packet loss on line 11.

*The percentage of BER at the end of line 11.

All records, no matter their length of lines start with "received voice header from" and end with the "%" percent symbol. Additionally could anyone point me toward a low level overview of when to use SED, GREP or AWK, they all seem very similar to me? Just a link to a good tutorial would be great.
What I am trying to is run a bash script to monitor the log using the terminal using something like this:
tail -fn0 /var/log/pi-star/MMDVM-2019-06-08.log
But with only the 6 variables named above. Super grateful!!!
#!/bin/bash
ACCESS_TOKEN="o.WOgpVaaEBjoVLGKS3VzFnsO4xGClTRiF"

        output[3] = a[1];
    }
    if (match($0, "voice transmission, ([^ ]+) seconds, ([^%]+)% packet loss, BER: ([^%]+)%", a)) {
        output[4] = a[1];
        output[5] = a[2];
        output[6] = a[3];

        outputStr =  output[1];
        for (i = 2; i <= 6; i++) outputStr = outputStr","output[i];
        print outputStr;

The California Department of Fish and Game has issued a new restoration plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The "Draft Ecosystem Restoration Program Conservation Strategy" will, according to state officials, guide future efforts to conserve wetlands habitat in the Delta region and improve water flow in the estuary.
Though the draft plan isn't a policy proposal per se, its recommendations outline, in the words of Ecosystem Restoration Program manager Dave Zezulak, "the department's vision of the best opportunities" for transforming the Delta's aging levee system. Delta experts have been warning officials for years about the potential catastrophe that would accompany a levee break from an earthquake or tidal surge. Proponents of reworking the levees say the state's drinking water supply and agricultural infrastructure in the region are at risk if work on the Bay Delta Conservation Plan doesn't move forward.
State and federal officials have already butted heads with farmers in the region who say local wisdom about the viability of the delta levees trumps the opinions of outside experts. Some locals believe the environmental lobby in DC is looking for a wetlands land-grab.
At issue for estuary island landowners is the proposed tunnel system that would divert Sacramento River water to pumps near the city of Tracy. From there the fresh water would be channeled southward. Opponents of the plan say it would lead to brackish water penetration deeper into the Delta from the saltier San Joaquin River and San Francisco Bay, ruining grazing pastures and farm fields.
Farmers cultivate land on some of the 60 "sunken islands" that rest on the once vast tidal marsh. Now, more than 1,000 miles of levees hold back water from inundating these estuary keys whose exposed peat surfaces have compacted below sea level over the years. Residents fear the tunnels will cut into funds needed to maintain the levees, a convenient pretense for converting such workable lands into protected wetlands.
The public comment period for the draft Conservation Strategy will last through August 22. A finalized version should come as soon as December. By then, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Services are expected to have signed on to the plan.
A copy of the draft proposal can be downloaded here.


You don't need a referral from your GP, you can refer yourself for treatment. Osteopathy can be provided independently or in conjunction with your GP.
If you have Private Health Insurance, you may be able to get the cost of treatment covered by your policy. Please check with your Insurer if they require a GP referral, prior to commencing treament. We are registered with the leading providers including BUPA, AXA PPP and Aviva.
Please bring your Authorisation Number and details of your policy, including any excess along with you on your first visit.
If you're a first-time patient at Osteopathy Plus, we'll ask you to complete a brief "New Patient" form for our records. Your Osteopath will also take a detailed "Case History". This is so that they can pinpoint the problem and offer you the best personalised care. In order to listen to you fully and capture the necessary information, first appointments are longer than normal. Typically taking up to one hour. All of your conversations, notes and personal information are completely confidential.
During your first consultation your Osteopath will listen to you and make notes on your case history. This will include the issues that you have come in to talk about, your symptoms, when they developed and any changes in either the symptoms or general health since the onset of the problem. Then some background on any medication that you may be on and your past medical history. This allows your Osteopath to form an "holistic" picture, looking not only at the symptoms, but also your lifestyle an so on, so that they can understand why the problem has arisen.
There is a physical examination of your body that will assess your posture and observe how your spine and other joints move. Any appropriate tests, such as testing your reflexes or testing your blood pressure, will be performed and then your Osteopath wil gently feel the tone of your muscles and joints in order to make a comprehensive assessment. Similar to any medical examination, you may be asked to remove some outer clothing. So please wear appropriate underwear or bring some shorts with you. You are of course welcome to bring a friend to accompany you.
Your Osteopath will then discuss their findings with you and what osteopathy can or can't do to help. If it is appropriate and you are in agreement, you will have an osteopathic treatment on your first visit. Your Osteopath will then discuss your treatment plan, need for follow up appointments (if required) and where appropriate propose exercises or lifestyle advice.
Osteopaths are trained to identify if you need to be referred to a GP, or need further tests such as X-rays, MRI scans or blood tests to help diagnose the problem.

ABOUT US PODCAST SHOP APPOINTMENTS
Transcript: What to Do Before Treating Your Baby's Ties
Welcome back to Breastfeeding Talk: Milk, Motherhood, Mindset. I'm your host, Jacqueline Kincer. Today's episode is long overdue. I'm coming back to you after an extended break period, which I'll just say, I personally really needed. There's been a lot of big changes happening at Holistic Lactation. If you haven't been following along, you might not know. I don't post everything that's going on within the company on Instagram either. I'll just take a couple of minutes at the intro of this episode just to fill you in on things.
So last year, we brought on some team members to be other lactation consultants to do one on one appointments with clients, and they're phenomenal. We have Cait Ahern, who is an absolute badass if I can say so. She is a whiz at all things ties. She is like my double and I just absolutely love her, and so do clients. We've gotten so much amazing feedback. Every time a client books an appointment with us, and they do their appointment with someone on the team, they actually get a really in-depth survey afterwards. I do that survey because I want to know, are there things we could be doing better? Did you get the results that you had hoped for? The feedback from everyone on the team has been incredible.
We've got Gina Nigro who is doing amazing things with the team. She's a really seasoned lactation consultant. She is our eldest member of the team, and in a good way, because she is just so great at connecting with moms. She's lived in the US for years, but now she's actually in Spain. She has a really interesting international perspective. She's very multicultural, and she speaks Spanish fluently. So if anyone needs Spanish help, Gina is absolutely the one to book with. I just love her approach because it's different. She brings something to the team that I probably wouldn't bring myself necessarily. So, I love her. She's also really used to working with clients who have babies with ties, but don't have anyone even remotely close to them that would be a good option for releasing the ties surgically. She is really great at persevering through breastfeeding in spite of ties and not getting them treated. So I just feel incredibly blessed to have them.
But besides them, we have other team members that aren't seeing clients as well. So I'm just really thrilled to have an incredible group of women, a group of moms who are all working to support breastfeeding moms. It's just been an honor and a blessing to have them. It's also been a lot of growing pains for me running this ship, show ship, whatever you want to call it, because it's a lot. That's why it took a moment to step back from podcasting, but behind the scenes, there's a lot going on, and I want to share a couple of big updates with you.
One is that The Nurture Collective, the long awaited membership program that I've been talking about for years is finally almost here. We are putting the finishing touches on it literally as I speak and it is going to be launched at the end of May 2022. I'm recording this, today is Tuesday, May 3 and we are going to be opening the doors giving early access to anyone who is on the waitlist on May 31. You'll be the first to get in, there's a special bonus for you too if you are on the waitlist and you end up signing up for it. We're going to give everyone else the next few days to explore what it is. We're going to be going live on Instagram before that time to share with you a preview so to speak of what it's really like inside of The Nurture Collective and what we're doing in there.
Essentially what it is, is there's a course aspect to it. All of the modules are essentially based on the age of your baby. So, pregnancy, newborn stage, one to three months, one to six months, six months to a year, and then a year plus. And then within those different stages, we're talking about ways to troubleshoot things like low milk supply, food intolerances, ties, mastitis, clogged ducts, oversupply, pumping issues, bottle feeding, you name it, and there's some extra goodies in there as well. We have a full on breastfeeding buyer's guide. If you're looking for any particular products, the ones that we recommend, and why they're so amazing, we have these incredible written resources for you. I honestly would have to just visually show it to you to really paint the picture because it's so much more than just information. It's in depth information. It's how to, it's step by step, how to tackle certain problems, certain struggles you might be encountering, but also telling you, hey, here's what's normal. And here's what's not, but it matters what stage of breastfeeding you're in. Right? It matters. If you're pumping, it matters. If you're nursing, it matters. If you have a two day old versus a two month old, things are different depending on your circumstances.
It's more than just a course, because you have access to all of that content at any time. So you can access that you can DIY things, and you can really get some trusted, in depth, evidence based information to support you and breastfeeding your baby. But then we also have a community within that. So that community is going to be me and Kate primarily in there as well as some others. And it's a support group of sorts.
So if you have questions about the content, questions about what's going on for you with lactation and breastfeeding, you post in there, and you get access to us. And we are there to support you, as well as the other members. And then we're bringing in guest experts on a monthly basis as well. They'll be addressing other topics that are more in depth and answering your questions. It's different from a podcast episode in the sense that whatever you hear on the podcast here is great. And a lot of it is in depth. But we're going deeper in The Nurture Collective, and you're getting a q&a, you're getting a back and forth. It's not a one sided conversation that you're just passively listening to like you are here on the show. So anyway, it's amazing, I can't say enough good things about it. If you want to add yourself to the waitlist, you can do that by going to the nurture collective.co. So that's dot c o, you can add yourself to the waitlist there right now. So anybody on the waitlist, again, gets early access, and you got a special surprise as well, as I thank you for being on the waitlist and being one of the first people to sign up.
So that aside, another thing I'd like to share with you is that for a long time, now it's been over a year, we've had the advanced lactation formula supplements, that's a supplement for supporting and increasing milk supply. It's full of five amazing organic herbs or herbal extracts that are really targeted based on my years of clinical experience of a lot of research, of trial and error of hearing from clients, what works for them, what doesn't, and that products been out it's been doing great moms love it, they're seeing excellent increases in their supply, especially when nothing else has worked. So that's been super exciting.
But we're bringing another product to the market. And this is another herbal supplement. And it's really designed for preventing, but also treating clogged ducts or plugged ducts as some people call them and mastitis. I'm not going to share with you the exact ingredients just yet not even gonna share the exact name with you just yet. But production time is probably about 12 weeks from now. We will start taking pre-orders a week or two before it's actually in our warehouse. So when we actually know, hey, it's done, it's going to get sent to us stored in our warehouse, it's going to be stocked on shelves there and ready to ship to customers will start taking pre orders and we'll be offering that at a discount. So that'll be super exciting.
And then shortly after that, we'll get it up on Amazon, Walmart.com, but it'll be first available on our site. So we're really excited to bring that to you guys. It's a lot more powerful and it's a lot better for you than something like sunflower lecithin. So it does not contain any lecithin, which often causes a lot of digestive distress. And it's really something that a lot of moms report not liking, taking you have to take it at a really, really high dose in order to get a therapeutic effect. So we are giving you some more pure ingredients, a combination of ingredients that combat inflammation, but also infection. So I'm just super thrilled to bring that one to the market.
There's more in the pipeline, but at least that one's in production. So now I can start talking about it. So anyway, those are the updates. That's pretty much all I have in terms of what's been happening over here at Holistic Lactation. But let's dive into today's episode.
So today, we're gonna be talking about what options you have before treating ties. Tongue ties, or lip ties, buckle ties, whatever. And honestly, this episode title or this topic is kind of a misnomer, because you might be doing things other than doing a surgical release of oral ties, but you're still treating the ties, if that makes sense. I'll be talking about that.
I'm really passionate about this topic, because ties are my jam. Ties are absolutely the thing that I've chosen to specialize in. And it's not that I don't have great in depth, knowledge and all of the other topics regarding breastfeeding and lactation, and oral function and all of that I do. But ties are personal to me in a lot of ways. And it's become personal in terms of my journey as a parent and my own children. But also, I just see how so many parents don't get the validation, the proper diagnosis, the proper assessment of their baby, and they don't know early enough on that their baby has oral ties, and that these are challenges. And so by the time they finally figure it out, by the time they find someone like us, there's already this snowball effect of problems.
It just is heartbreaking, because a lot of times parents will convince themselves that it's something they're doing wrong, something's wrong with their body. Why are they in pain, something's wrong with their nipples, they have a defect. And the whole time, it's like, no, your baby is the one with a congenital defect, and it's totally fixable. But unfortunately, they've been led down this path of being medically gaslighted, of essentially just feeling like, you know, there's just no hope. And breastfeeding is not meant to work out. And all this discouragement and all this anxiety and stress and all these things. And it's heartbreaking.
It's heart wrenching to witness that now, it's also on the flip side of that incredibly rewarding to be able to help that family and finally get them the answers they've been searching for so long for and turn things around and make breastfeeding better. So let's talk about how that happens. So the way that we want to address ties, and I know doesn't always happen like this, but I'm going to talk to you about what would happen in a perfect world. And then we're in talk about how you can work around those things, and why there might be exceptions to that sometimes. So in a perfect world, you start with an IBCLC.
Now, I would love it if everybody, breastfeeding problems or not, saw an IBCLC after they have their baby. More than once. And the reason for that is, it's obviously great to get that help right away after you give birth, whether that's hospital home birth center, wherever you're giving birth, because you need help with that initial latch. If you've never had a baby before, you've never breastfed before, even if you have this baby is different. And it's a long time ago, you know, at least nine months ago, right? So you forget. So getting that initial help with latching knowing that your baby's getting enough milk, that proper education, good lactation practices, good breastfeeding management, that is so important. Because if you don't get off to a good start, it's really hard to try and recover that leader.
Now it can be recovered, obviously. But then right after the birth, you're only making colostrum. Right, you're new at this, your baby's fresh, they just came out of the womb, they're still kind of curled up in that balloon like position, they have a lot of unwinding to do. There's a lot of changes that will be happening over the next few days, like your milk transitioning. So once you start making copious amounts of breast milk, that changes the mechanics of breastfeeding, that changes how nursing is going. And we also want to make sure that you actually are transitioning to make those copious amounts of milk. If you're not and not doing it by a certain timeline, we want to see like, why is that happening? And what can we do to speed that up, because there's a lot of different factors.
So seeing someone at that point would also be beneficial. And then ideally, in the next week or two after that would be great, because now you've got a milk supply, hopefully, right. And if you don't, that's something that needs to be worked on. And then you are nursing this baby kind of getting into a rhythm, but you still want to make sure everything's going really well, that you're mastering a lot of these things so that you're rockin and rollin with breastfeeding, that you're getting really well established, because we don't want to have breastfeeding be the central focus of postpartum life for all time. Now, is it going to be that focus, especially in the first couple of weeks, and really the first month? Absolutely, yes, your baby's gonna be nursing around the clock. Who are we kidding? And I know there are always new people that will say that's not true. And you know, that's great that your baby has the ability to go longer stretches without needing to nurse. That's not true for most newborns. Just to go over what's real and what's not.
But we want things to be really well established. Now, there's a lot of limitations of this kind of care, a lot of people don't know where to find a good IBCLC. They don't feel like they have one locally, they don't know that virtual options like us, Hint hint, wink wink, exist. Or they have an IBCLC and they're just not very good. That happens more often than not unfortunately, or they see someone who's not an IBCLC, and is not qualified to give them that level of care. So they're working with a CLC, a CBS, someone like that when they really should have been working with an IBCLC. So just knowing that difference, and I do have an entire podcast episode devoted to The Alphabet Soup of Lactation Land, so I'll link that in the show notes for you, that way you can understand the differences.
It's really, really important that if you're experiencing breastfeeding problems, which most parents do, that you get that support that you need. Now in relation to ties, here's the deal, right. So first, you want to have breastfeeding assessed and have breastfeeding optimized and improved, and have that lactation consultant do the assessment for the oral ties.
So why is it that very few IBCLC's are actually trained properly, to do an assessment of oral ties, this does not mean that you should avoid seeing an IBCLC altogether. But what it does mean is that if you suspect that your baby could have oral ties, or you want to have your baby checked for these, you've got to do the groundwork to find a lactation consultant that is skilled in assessing for and working with oral ties, because it's not just enough to look in a baby's mouth and say, yes, they're tied, that lactation consultant needs to know how to fix that. Okay, thanks.
Because I mean, a diagnosis, a lot of different professions could give you a diagnosis by looking at the structure of something. But truly, ties are a functional assessment. They're a functional diagnosis. And what I mean by that is, you have to look at how that restrictive from the tie itself, whether that's a tongue tie a lip tie a buckle tie, you have to look at how that functions in real life, you look at the structure of it, you feel the tension in it, but you also observe how it affects or redirects in a negative way, the motion of the oral cavity. So what I mean by that is, let's say we're talking about a tongue tie. Okay?
So if the tongue tie is so significant, that the baby cannot move their tongue properly to extract the milk from the breast to swallow the milk, any functional swallow way, because there's absolutely dysfunctional swallows happening, right, then that means that tongue tie is impairing function. So we're looking for the functional impact. Now, let's say the baby has a tongue tie. But they're able to obtain, let's say, 80% of the range of motion that they should have. There's not really any major problems or red flags. Now, it becomes a cost benefit decision where your provider is kind of playing out in their mind and saying, Well, what are the risks of the procedure? One is the babies and pain. Two is it's a lot of work to do the aftercare for the wound, and the oral rehab work and anything else that's needed for this particular baby, you know, three, is this baby able to functionally breastfeed well enough that we can avoid some of the major concerns that breastfeeding can be maintained that this family is going to meet their breastfeeding goals.
Okay, if that's the case, then maybe treatment isn't warranted. Right. But that's a decision that is arrived at between your lactation consultant, and any other providers on this team of people that you might be working with when it comes to ties and yourself. So also, you know, think about a lip tie, for instance, right? So if the upper lip is crawled under at every single feed, despite trying to revert that lip manually by pulling on it, or repositioning it, because the lip tie is so significant, well, we're never gonna get functional breastfeeding. And you're going to get some issues that are going on with oral development, and just overall oral function, very likely to have nursing pain, that sort of thing.
It takes the IBCLC to do a functional assessment to observe breastfeeding, to intervene and make changes to breastfeeding to see if those create enough improvement, right. So whether that's latch positioning, some other techniques that's going on during the feeding, can we optimize that and get the improvement and results that we want, then after that intervention happens and we see what the mother and baby are capable of, and even sometimes giving them time to implement these things over and over again throughout several feedings over the next several days. If not enough improvement is seen.
And we can tell that then the oral ties are restrictive enough that we're maxed out, we've reached essentially maximum medical improvement. There's nothing else we can do at this point. Because the tires are impeding full function, they're causing a significant enough problem that without treating them, we cannot say that breastfeeding is going to continue to go well, or get any better. That's the point where you and your lactation consultant decide, okay, yes, let's go get a consultation with the dentist with whoever is going to be the person that's treating the ties surgically. Right, and then explore getting those released. The other thing that sometimes factors in and I will be really honest about this, I don't think it needs to factor in all the time. But I do think a lot of the time it's really helpful is bodywork. But just like lactation consultants, a lot of body workers are not skilled enough to work with one infant, two ties, and three, a lot of them just, you know, offer a lot of fluff. And that's very true in my own profession.
So it is true in every profession, right? I mean, you could have a plumber come to your house that charges you $600 and replaces a gasket on something, and you know, like, doesn't really do anything for you, you could have another plumber, who brings some diagnostic tools with them, you know, finds out that Oh, my goodness, you actually have a crack in this pipe. And that's why that's going on and finds the root cause and fixes that issue. And at the end of the day, you know, saves you money, because you know, has prevented a water leak damaging your drywall and creating a mold issue. In every profession, there's the good and the bad. And unfortunately, the top tier are the minority, the really, really good ones are in the minority. And it just is the way it is. We're not unique as lactation consultants, party workers aren't unique. People who treat ties aren't unique. It's a very small subset of each of these professions that knows what the heck they're doing
It's really important that you work with those people if you're going to pursue treatments, because if you're not, well, then why even bother, right? But if you are going to have a surgical procedure done on your baby, to surgically release those ties, you pretty much want to make sure you're working with the best. I mean, we're talking about your infant here. We're talking about making or breaking, feeding, breathing, speech, sleep, I mean ties affect so much. If you're going to go to somebody who does a half assed or subpar job, or doesn't take you seriously enough, or doesn't know how to do a proper functional release, then you're doing you and your baby a massive disservice. And you're going through something traumatic and painful and expensive, for really little or no result, possibly making things worse. So it's really, really important that you choose that provider carefully.
Why do you want to work with the IBCLC, because we know who those providers are? Right, we have direct clinical experience, and we can tell you, that is the person to see, and that is the person to avoid, because we see the clinical outcomes. A lot of times the doctors who are releasing ties, maybe only follow up with you once, maybe they don't ever potentially, but we are following up with you. We are the ones who are seeing how breastfeeding is improving how the wound is healing, we are working for you most times, several weeks after that procedure to make sure everything is fully resolved, and that breastfeeding, bottle feeding whatever it is, is going well again, are going well for the first time in a lot of cases, right? So it's really important that you have that guidance.
The IBCLC kind of acts like the glue, if you will, and we act like the consultant and the counselor for you because we're navigating you and your baby's movement throughout the entire treatment team. And we're trimming the fluff. So for instance, if your baby has torticollis, let's say, yes, they need bodywork. And it would be really great to work on that before they get the surgical release. Because if your baby has torticollis, and you go and get a tongue tie release, potentially that tongue tie release, or even that tongue in front of will have some asymmetry to it because the tongue is connected to the neck. Right? All of these things are connected to one another, intention in one area creates tension and others.
So if you're not addressing all the surrounding tension outside of the ties, and you go get your baby's ties treated, and that does release a lot of tension, right. But it's not going to necessarily fix that torticollis, it's not going to fix the other tension that's going on. So you still have a baby that's struggling to open wide or get a good latch because they've got another issue that's impacting breastfeeding. So the IBCLC is really great at timing it for you, essentially, when to get the release, when to get bodywork. If that's needed. Do you need it before the procedure do you need it after now the bodyworker themselves is also going to give you their own professional guidance and timeline. And I can't say that I know exactly what that is. Because I don't do that work, right.
But I can at least recognize, 'Hey, it's time to refer to this person' because that's outside of my scope. And I can tell this is something that would be beneficial to your infant, right. Just like I can say, 'Hey, I don't treat ties'. I don't have a laser. I don't have scissors. It's not in my area. I don't have those kinds of privileges. I've got to refer you to someone that does that. Now what we would love is IBCLCs if that was reciprocated for us now bodyworkers. Entire lease providers do often reciprocate and recognize the need for our profession. But it is very lacking in terms of let's say pediatrics, where they tend to not refer to lactation consultants. And so it's unfortunate because you're sort of left without options, right, you have to find all this stuff out on your own.
That's why you're listening to this podcast right now figuring out for yourself. So there's a lot of things that can be done before you treat the ties and may need to be done like a really good skilled IBCLC is going to give you oral exercises, to optimize your baby's oral function to strengthen their muscles to prepare them for a surgical release, they're going to refer your baby for body work, if they need it, they're going to maximize and optimize the potential of breastfeeding, of bottle feeding, of pumping, have all of those other things that are going to be really, really important outside of the ties themselves, and they're going to give you a plan to improve or maintain where you're at until you can get those ties surgically released. Then you're going to go get those ties released, right, your lactation consultant should want to follow up with you sometime in that first week after the procedure.
A lot of us want to do it three days after no later than five days after the reason for that is one, you've got to make sure that you know how to do that wound aftercare properly. If you don't, the wound will very likely reattach you will have poor healing, you will have negative outcomes. So don't put your baby through a surgical procedure and not not commit to all of the aftercare. It's kind of like, it's kind of like getting a new replacement surgery and then just never doing PT afterwards, you're not going to get great results, right, your surgeon generally doesn't even want to do the procedure on you unless you are committed to seeing physical therapy after. So think of an ibclc as a little bit of physical therapy in terms of managing that wound care, but also oral exercises.
So just because you've gotten their baby's oral ties released does not mean that your baby automatically knows how to move their muscles how to address the mechanics of breastfeeding, because they've never been able to do it that way before, they've literally never been able to move their tongue or their lips, or their mouth or their whole oral structure. In this way, this is all brand new for them. So there's some aspect of baby's brains being hardwired for this, and they will know what to do to some extent. But on the other flip side of that is they will often have muscle memory and ingrained motor neuron patterns for certain movements. So if your baby was chomping at the breast a lot previously, that tromping doesn't necessarily go away just because they got their tongue tie released.
So there are ways that your lactation consultants can teach you to do oral exercises to observe whether or not those are the appropriate exercises for your baby, observe you doing them making sure that that's going well, it's creating an improvement. And generally you start seeing an improvement, even within a day, certainly within three days. And if those are the correct oral exercises, now, the ones that your lactation gives you are for short term use, right. They'll be tailored specifically to you and your baby and their needs, right, you'll be doing those exercises. And then once a certain level of improvement is achieved, now we can work on the next issue that's going on, and phase out those exercises, maybe phase in some new ones. And then finally bring you to the point of graduation, so to speak, where hey, you don't need to do anything else, your baby's mouth, everything's good, just keep breastfeeding, maybe there's still some wound care that needs to be addressed.
But knowing when to taper off of those things and stop doing that treatment plan is equally as important as knowing what to do and when to start those things. Now a lot of parents think that they can hack the system by going on YouTube and watching suck training videos. I want to tell you right now that suck training is but one tool in the toolbox. And it's not something that we actually find we need to use very often. Okay, suck training is overrated, it is overused. Now, it might be used to refer to generalized oral exercises, but oral exercises. Again, suck training is a subset of oral exercises. It is a type of oral exercise that you can do with the baby to improve their oral function. There are many, many others. And if you don't know what you're doing, if you're just willy nilly putting your finger on your baby's mouth and doing some exercises that you watch on YouTube, how on earth do you even know if those are gonna be beneficial? How do you know your baby needed those to begin with?
How do you know that you're not doing something that your baby didn't need? And you end up creating an oral aversion or you just don't see any improvement? So what I hear from parents a lot of times is they'll say things like, 'Well I've done it all, and there's been no difference'. Well, if you're not trained to do this work, I don't want to discount your expertise as being the mother of your child. But if you're not meant to do this work, you don't have the clinical thought process, so to speak, to look at your child objectively, and say, 'This is what they need, and this is how I will know when it's working. This is how I know when it's not, and this is how I'll know when to do something different.'That's very, very difficult to do.
I will tell you, even as a lactation consultant with my second child, I hired an IBCLC because I was too close to the situation. And I actually have a whole podcast episode about this. It's my second breastfeeding journey. And I'll link that up in the show notes for you if you're interested in that, because I do talk about it. But I was in denial that she even had ties. I didn't get her ties released until she was six weeks old. Now, that's something that I quote unquote, "should have known" being a lactation consultant, but I didn't, because I was too close to the situation. And quite honestly, I worked with two lactation consultants. I worked with two different body workers. I worked with an occupational therapist, and we had an acupuncturist. I worked with a myofunctional therapist. I did a lot of things, because I just couldn't do it myself. I was too close to the situation, and I could not tell what my baby needed, and only getting objective help from those outside providers was able to make a difference.
So I would just say to you, I know that you're very intuitive, as a mom, I know that you know a lot, but you also don't know what you don't know. And this isn't some sort of pitch like, 'Hey, hire us and pay us a bunch of money', that's not it. But what I am saying is, when it comes to treating ties, there's a lot more than just the procedure. So that's really the point that I want to drive home.
Now you can do things instead of treating the ties, right, there's compensation that can be done. And maybe that helps you achieve your breastfeeding goals. Because ultimately, at the end of the day, you as the parent get to decide what happens to your baby. And you get to decide whether or not you're going to go forth with a procedure. So you sure as heck want to make sure that you've got breastfeeding going really well, right, because if you don't, well, in the end, what I mean, you can only do so much, right. So if you don't have a good latch technique, or even if you have the best latch technique, but your baby's just physically incapable of latching, well, maybe it's time to look at something like a nipple shield. But then be aware that every time you use a nipple shield, the best practice is to pump after that, in order to maintain milk supply.
Now, if you have an oversupply, that's not going to be a problem for you necessarily, right.
So all of these decisions are very individual. There are rules, but within those rules, there are subsets, and there's branches and forks. So like normally, I would say best practice was a nipple shield, like I just gave as an example is to pump after every feeding, because there's less breast stimulation, there's less milk removal. So you want to do that to maintain your milk supply. Now, if your baby isn't able to get all they need at the breast, not only are you pumping, but now you're also having to offer a bottle or an SNS or some other way to supplement your baby without additional milk. So it's a catch 22. But maybe you're one of those oversupply moms, it's actually calming down your oversupply, your baby's able to get all the milk they need at the breast, you don't need to pump afterwards. All of that, potentially that is fine for you.
The problem with the nipple shield, though, is that it never promotes good oral mechanics. It promotes a shallow latch, it promotes more bottle feeding mechanics and breastfeeding mechanics. And they're very different skill sets. So if you're wanting to improve your baby's oral function, and a nipple shield is not the way to do that. So if you're trying to think of ways, you know, how can I manage things, instead of getting the ties released? Well, there are ways you can manage that. And then it's also kind of a personal decision as to what you can tolerate. So let's say breastfeeding is painful. No matter what you do, you're experiencing nursing pain. You have a choice, you can continue to endure that you can exclusively pump, you can try a nipple shield, and if that helps you or you can get the ties treated. And those are really your only options. I mean, you can wean and give formula. So there's a fifth option, right? So those are really your only options. It's up to you to decide which one you think is best.
So when you work with an IBCLC, when you work with a body worker, you work with a surgical release provider for ties, you know any of these professionals, ultimately, we're giving you our best clinical advice based on the goals that you've given us. Right. And so from there, now it's up to you to take that information and decide what do I want to do with this? And it's up to you to ask us questions to say, 'Well, what happens if I don't do X, Y, and Z?', or 'What are the risks of doing ABC?'. Right, and exploring that conversation with us because we absolutely love answering your questions. I do. You know, I don't want to overwhelm anybody with a lot of information that they can't receive all at the same time. Right. That's why we don't do three hour appointments. We, ideally, try to break it up into multiple appointments. Because one, you can only do so much at once. Right to it's typically a staged approach. So you start doing some things, let's see the level of improvement you get there. Now we can take away some things we can add on some others, right? If we just give you the entirety of everything you're going to need to know for the next year, oh, my goodness, how are you even going to know where to start?
Right. So think of your lactation consultant as a project manager in some ways, because we're kind of giving you a schedule, we're breaking things down into easy, doable steps. And we're saying, These are the things that you really need to focus on right now. These are things you might want to think about later. But we don't need to address those today. And then this is what to expect going forward. And this is how to know when there's other problems, and you need to reach back out for help. So those are really common themes of any appointment, at least with us and other great colleagues that I know. So we typically work in the same way, same style, if that makes sense.
So I will say, if you go and get your baby's tongue tie released, and you have not seen a lactation consultant who's skilled in this, you have not seen a body worker, chances are you'll see some improvement. Okay, assuming that you've gone to a provider that does a proper release of all of the ties will fully release them, teach you the proper aftercare, all of that. Let's say you've got the procedure piece down, you should ideally see some improvement. Great. But the maintenance of that improvement beyond the first couple of days post op, make sure that that's happening, right? It's never too late either. So if you're like, 'Oh, shoot, I'm listening to this episode, and I never even worked with anybody'. That's okay. That's all right. We see people that have gotten the babies twice treated, and they're not seeing improvement all the time. And then they work with us, and they finally get that improvement.
So you want to make sure that the healing hasn't gone wrong, that the baby's ties have reattached. That you haven'tdisrupted that old muscle memory, that old motor learning pattern that your baby has, and that they're doing things in a new functional way. All of that stuff is important, you can always work on that later as well. So just something to think about is you don't have to work with us.
First, I think you're set up for success. If you do, I think that there's less of a promise that you're set up for success if you wait till afterwards, for sure. But if you're thinking, 'Well, the baby's ties are really severe, I need to get those treated first', maybe that's the case. And then you can get the other pieces of help afterwards. I will say it's very, very rare. And I've seen it a handful of times, and I've worked really closely with tongue tie providers as well, you know, I've assisted with the procedure and things. And oftentimes, these are people that aren't even my clients, right. And so they're going to get this procedure done. And you're seeing improvement with things. Some babies, especially if they don't have ingrained muscle patterns, if they're younger, let's say can go get those ties released and do great right out of the gate. And we really don't need to do a lot of other things, because we got it treated early on enough. So that can be a huge godsend. And that can be amazing.
But like I said earlier on in the episode, a lot of the times early diagnosis and assessment isn't done. And it's not until later that you're learning, 'Oh, my goodness, the ties are an issue'. My baby has ties. And now we're going to do something about it. And your babies, you know, one month, two month, three months, eight months, 13 months, whatever, right. So when you get treated really early on your chances of just the procedure being needed for success are really great, especially if you've already gotten breastfeeding off to a pretty decent start. And you know, what you're doing in terms of latching and milk supply and all of those sorts of things. So I'm not saying you always need a lactation consultant, or you always need a body worker. And I'm not saying you always need to treat the ties, right. It's always a very individual decision. I can say that much. And it's always weighing the risks and the benefits.
Now the benefit of having someone like a lactation consultant to walk through this with you is to have that really professional skilled discussion to determine what is the best path forward, right? Because we can't tell you until we look at what's going on. So you can't send me a text message and ask, 'Should I get my baby's ties treated or not?', because I'm like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. First of all, what does it look like in your baby's mouth? What does it look like when your baby is breastfeeding? What is your medical history? What's your baby's medical history? What was the birth like? How's breastfeeding been going since birth? How many diapers a day are they having? What's their week?'. I mean, I have 1000 other questions that I need to ask you before I can even begin to think about if your baby has ties and should they be treated? So I think that people don't understand there's actually a lot that goes into this.
Now we can cover a lot in a really short period of time. It's not like you need multiple appointments to decide if you need to treat baby's ties. Sometimes in rare cases, that is the case. But most of the time we can tell you in one appointment Anybody who's good at their craft will be able to do the same. So I'm not just speaking for myself when I'm talking to you about this. This is really how an ibclc thinks and works when they're skilled with ties. And I don't want to say that there are very, very few of us. But when you look at the worldwide population of lactation consultants, yes, we're definitely the minority. Now, there's a growing interest and growing group on getting that additional training. And there's actually quite a few of us. So one of the sites I would encourage you to look at is, if you don't want to work with me or my team, that's totally fine. Or if you want in person support, I would absolutely suggest that you use the directory on ibclcmasterclass.com. And I will link that up for you in the show notes.
That is an excellent directory to find people all over the world who have gotten additional training, especially in ties and oral function. Now, just because someone has not attended the ibclc masterclass program does not mean that they're not qualified to help you. So it's just one avenue, one directory that I know that is fairly large, where you can find that expertise. But really, what you should be doing is looking at this person's website, checking out their social media, seeing if this is something that they're talking about? Do they know about ties? Are they vocal about it? Because quite honestly, if they're not, they're probably not super skilled in that area. So if you have to ask like, if you contact me, you're like, Hey, I didn't see anywhere that you work with babies with ties, do you do that, unless they're in the middle of like a website remodel or something, or they don't have social media, I would say, that's probably not someone that you want to necessarily work with.
Now, that being said, I do think that there's always people learning and I think that sometimes you're gonna find providers who they're not, they're more of a provider, they're less of a business owner, they're not always thinking about the public facing stuff. They're so engrossed in the work that they're doing with families. So they don't always put things out there publicly, necessarily. They just don't have time. It's not in their wheelhouse. It's just not what they're interested in doing. So, if you find someone that you think might be good, reach out to them and ask, but also ask your community, right? Ask your friends, ask your extended family, ask your health care providers, do they have recommendations for someone for you to work with, if you find, let's say, a dentist or some other type of doctor that surgically releases ties, ask them for a list of referrals to lactation consultants. So there's a lot of things that you can do to try to find those resources, no matter what country you're in, no matter what area, rural, suburban, urban, that you live in.
And again, certain things obviously, you can't virtually get the tie surgically released. But certain things like lactation can be done virtually. And to some extent, bodywork can be done virtually as well. So you can work one on one with a physical therapist, or, you know, let's say an occupational therapist, and learn those things they can teach you, they can do it on video, they can observe you with your baby and teach you how to do things at home. Because truly any good body worker is going to give you things to do at home anyway, just like a lactation consultant, we're not there for every time you're going to latch and nurse your baby, or every time we're going to pump, right, you've got to take what we teach you and implement it on your own at home. Just know that right? So you can access a lot of services virtually, which is great. I mean, because we are still in a pandemic, it's crazy, cases are rising again, what the heck is happening out there, folks. But a lot of you just don't have good local options. And then a lot of you are just like, 'Forget this, I don't wanna leave the house if I can do it from home, this is way easier'. I don't blame you. I mean, with video now, and technology that we have, through messaging, sending videos, photos, back and forth live video, there's so many ways that you can be really well supported in your journey that oftentimes even feels more supportive than in person care, because as opposed to seeing someone in person, just kind of one and done. And that's it, you tend to get more support. When you work with someone virtually you have a greater level of access to that person or that team to ask questions to get the follow up care and all of that.
So in summary, I just wanted to reiterate that there's a lot of things that you can do before treating ties to understand whether or not your baby has ties, whether or not they're worth being treated. Perhaps some of those interventions can improve things to the point of not needing to treat those ties. And then on the flip side of that, there's things to do afterwards as well. So getting the procedure is really the smallest sort of timeframe in terms of how long it actually takes or what have you. It often feels like the biggest piece of it all because it's scary because it's a surgery. I mean surgery, take that term loosely, right I mean, it is a surgical procedure. Aegir to remove the restrictive collagen bands of the front of this form the tie, but it's not like we're talking about putting anybody under doing sutures or you know, any of that kind of stuff, right? Like it's what can we compare that to? Oh, gosh, it's like saying that getting Botox injected in your forehead is a medical procedure. Technically it is. Right, but it's not a spine surgery. So you know, there's different types of surgeries. Right.
But technically releasing ties is a surgery. You know, that word scares people, but I would say just, you know, try to destigmatize that we're trying to remove the fear from that, because, you know, we're just calling it like it is, right, we're just using this as a medical term without any sort of connotation. So just being accurate in the vocabulary, if you will. But there are things that you need to do outside of that procedure before and after, that are really, really important to ensuring the success of it, or are really, really important to help you avoid needing to do the procedure to begin with. So just a lot of things to consider. And really, I just wanted to have this as a conversation, a conversation of setting some really good expectations for people setting just some really great ideas in your mind. If you're thinking, Oh, my goodness, I think my baby has ties, or I'm looking at getting the ties released. But I don't know where to find help, or I'm not sure what to do next, or do I actually have to do this.
These are a lot of questions that are circulating in the minds of parents, and just having a conversation about this, guiding you through thinking through a lot of these different concepts, but also giving you the professional guidance and insight into all the things that need to be done that go into this whole process of a baby having ties, it's a lot, but it becomes a lot less when you have guided professional support along the way.

We thought we'd take some time to talk about the big issues dealing with religious liberty in today's tense climate. Specifically, we'll be talking about the issue of the man fired from Crossfit for his tweet about Pride, and the baker from Colorado who was sued for not baking a cake for a gay couple's wedding.
Both of these issues illustrate some points about religious liberty that Tim and I wanted to highlight. I think you'll find our perspectives fairly unique and interesting, even if you may not agree with what we have to say. I know you'll find it polarizing to say the least!
Thanks again for sharing the show and listening. We really appreciate the help you all give us in growing the show and making it into something bigger. Look forward to bigger and better things!
